To all whom it/may concern:

Be it known vthatI,v IVILLIAM C. Damn', of Washington, District of Columbia, have invented certain newand useful Improve-` jments in Bearers fdr Printing-Presses; and

I do hereby declare'the following'to be a ful1, clear, and exact description of the in vention, such as Will. enable others skilled in the art to Which it appertains to -makeand use the same.

The primary object of this invention lis to provide' a bearer `which, AWhile avoiding vall Will'be strong andl and 1n .no Way injure the surface W1'th Which itengages' and may be readily secured to or detached from a -press cylinder at any desired point thereof. 7 i The inventionwill set forth and claims.

In the accompanyingdrawings, Figure l shows my improvement applied to ya rotary press. -'Fig.- 2 is va central longitudinal secofthe bearer detached. Fig. 3 is a similar view showing -a slight modification. Fig. lI is a view in perspective of the form `used With bed and cylinder p resses.` I have found'by actual practice thatthe best possible results vare attained by forming the bearer lWhollyor primarily 'of rawhide may. form -thefaci for ai backing of inetal or other suitable `n'iateri'a/l'.

Referring to the drawings, in Fignfl I face 2 of rawlhide secured to a.' metallicbacking 3 b formed in t by which itmay be secured to the cylinder at any desired point thereof.' The bearer as awhole must not vbe more'than plate high.

It will be understood,ftherefore, that in using the Word raw-hide in both the specication and the claims I hend the use of any kind of leather.

intended to compre# A'bearer composed entirely of raw-hide asshovvn in Fig. 3, Will serve every desired purpose, yet it is preferable to have a thin base of metal so as to enable the device to be readily attached to a press; Furthermore the facing of a'single layer ofraW-hide -is" less likely to separate from a metallic base than When such base is-composed of a v series of layers of the same material as the facing. It is'also cheaper to renew the single facing in the event of Wear.

I claim' as my invention l LA Abearer "for preventing. blurring in. printing, comprising -a base designed tobe to a 'portion of `one of two coperating members of aprinting press,said
